but as Murphy noted – why are only men toasting at that table? (the full “Mine is bigger than yours” complement)

Where is the woman unjustly accused of racism, the one participant that never lost her head in this?

Which reminds me, it’s been reported that Gates himself was one of the first to malign the 911 caller, Lucia Whalen, by yelling at Crowley: “Who you gonna believe?
